. >> erik larson. i've read all of his works. almost a minute by minute description of what happens to the lusitania and it's very dramatic and goes back and forth during what is happening in europe and washington with president wilson what is happening to passengers on the shape, their stories. it's really a great read, well written and really brings that piece of history back to life and makes it very human. these are real human beings we can relate to who lost their lives sadly. great story. the illustrious dad by stephen baldy is all about how it's really responsible for destroying the army and the invasion of russia. a lot of people thought it was cold or the russian army. all of those things didn't help. but the sanitary conditions of the day simply didn't allow them to protect themselves against this bacteria and it was devastating, really devastating. the poet thomas more than 90% of his army in the invasion of russia and a lesson, by the way that a century later adolf hitler did not attend to his regret. a friend of mine
